There are a number Of other cooking
schools in Washington, and not a few are
connected more or less indirectly with other
schools here The schools also have manual
training departments connected with them,
and the public school boys Of Washington
have a chance to learn how to Use carpenters
tools, how to work in metals and how TO
mold and cast metal In these respects the
Washington high school is probably in ad-
vance of any other school in the country, am.
the education given here is more practical

come before him are of all classes and con-
ditionS l saw him one day talking TO a
richly dressed woman who, as far appearance
went, might have been the wife of a duke.
Her face shone with good living, and her
clothes were as well cut as if made by
Worth She had diamonds in her ears and
on her fingers, and three Of the five fingers
of each hand were filled with rings from the
base of the finger to the joint above it. She
wore o sealskin cloak and SO bonnet COW
cred her thick silvery white hair. She was
evidently in the most comfortable Of circum-
stances, and was surprised, after she left,
to hear Mr.. Higgins say that she wanted an
Office. Upon my asking ''what Office" he
answered:
THAT OF the chief charwoman Of the trea-
sury She wants to superintend the scrub
bling and cleaning of the department, and she
looks as though she would lie more fitted to
preside over the establishment Of the richest
senator. Dressed she is she would be
sminently out Of place rs a treasury scrubber,
and am surprised that she does not apply for
higher Office She is a woman who has had
considerable influence in times past. She is
the daughter of general, once noted, but dead
cow, and her whole lite has been one of
tuxury Good dress and good living have
6ecome a necessity to her, and it must be a
humiliation for her to ask for such a position.
Women are the most persistent of our Office
seekers, and it is very hard to get rid Of
them"

County Commissioners.

The board of county commissioners
were in session again yesterday. and did a
LAND Office business" in the matter Of
roads. Petitions were received and taken
under consideration for the laying out Of
roads from a point near Cheyenne to
Cheyenne Pass, from the northwest cor
ner of section 25, range 81, to a point
near Bartlett's ranch on the Fort Russell
road, and from a point one mile beyond
Horse creek to the county road neal
McGinnis' gulch. These petitions were
neither of them in proper shape to be
acted upon, as there was nothing to show
that notice had been served on parties
interested, as the law provides.
A petition which asked for the APP
pointment of a special deputy sheriff at
Fort Laramie was laid over for future
consideration.
The report of the viewers on the Fer
guson street road was presented and
June Is fixed as the day on which fur
ther steps are to be taken.
The county surveyor presented a plot
of prepared alterations and changes in
the road from Chug to Fort Laramie.
The changes and alterations as described
in the plot were made by a vote of the
board, etc.
Some other road matters were also at
tended to.
The county treasurer's report of H.
ceuses issued, etc, was presented and
placed on file.
Adjourned to meet again this morning

AN AUsPIuIous OPENING.
The Races Largely Attended--Good
Time Made--The Track, Etc.

The first day of the June races may be
said to have proved an entire success in
most respects. The attendance was large
considering the fact that yesterday morn
ing did not appear at all favorable for
settled weather. So thorough and COM
plete had been the preparations for the
event, and SO carefully bad Col. Chafin.
president of the association. and f. W.
Lafrentz set everything in order that
there was no hitch in yesterdays pro-
ceedings. There were the usual number
of betting men on the grounds. and a
considerable amount of money changed
hands.
The Judges and time.keepers were
Geo. f. Morgan, A. H. Hord, L. w.
Whltcomb, and II. B. Iiams, and their
rulings and decisions made during the
afternoon were. 50 far as could be ascer.
tanned, entirely satisfactory to all. The
race opened at 2 p. M. but as THE
LEADER has but little space that can be
devoted to yesterdays proceedings, the
best that can be done is to give the off.
cial record, which is as follows:
First race, trotting-Entries: Kate
Carey, Daisy 81 and Matte ! Kate
Carey favorite. Kate Carey won three
straight heats. Time, 2:444, PAP and
2:4O2
Running race. half mile dash-Entries:
Philo Clark. Countess, Inneatta and Lila
Ferguson, the Latter being the favorite.
Countess won first two heats in SO and
5O3. lnneatta second money, Philo
Clark third.
Two thirty %trotting race Entries:
Luella, Mcleod, Cowboy. Luella WOE
first heat, Mcleod second, Cowboy third.
Time. 2:3O. Succeeding heats won BY
Mcleod in 2:32, 23l and 23l&.
The Inter Ocean hotel was crowded last
evening where pools were sold until a late
hour on to-day's races, there being how
ever, no special favorite so far as could be
learned.
The races will open at 2 o'clock sharp
again this afternoon.
Tickets for admission to the fair ground
will be on sale at Rhodes & Troxelrs
